Description: Mammillaria klissingiana is a clumping cactus with snow-coloured spines that completely mask the body. It is less common than other similar species such as the twin-spined Mammillaria geminispina, or the taller Mammillaria lanata, but it is equally deserving of recognition. It is notable for its symmetry and spine formation.
Roots: Has long fibrous roots.
Habit: Plants solitary, or later becoming branched, and forming large mounds up to 40 cm across. Each head is surrounded by a complete ring of star-like pink flowers. There are variations among plants from different origin.
Stems: Globularor somewhat elongate or short cylindrical in age, up to 16 cm high and 9 cm across, dull green, rounded apically.
Tubercles: When young pyramidal, then rounded to conical, firm, axils with many white bristles to 10 mm long.
Sap: With latex.
Areoles: Circular, at first white-woolly, soon glabrate.
Central: Spines 2-4, awl-like, white with darker tips, to 2 mm long.
Radial spines: 30-35, spreading, straight, white, to 5 mm long.
Flowers: Funnelform, in a ring around the sides at the top of the stem, typically pink, small, up to 10 mm long and 8 mm in diameter.
Fruits: Borne in a circle near the middle of the plant, club shaped, 5-6 mm long.
Seeds: brown.
